West LA is just a GTE invention. GTE thinks that I live in West Los Angeles, but I live in LA. I pay LA taxes on my phone bill. 10%, in fact, on the entire bill including out of state calls. (The neighborhood is called West Los Angeles, but it is as much a part of LA as midtown is a part of Manhattan. There must be hundreds of the these areas in LA). The dividing line between 213 and 310 on the West side was supposed to La Cienega Blvd. If you lived on the East Side of LCB, you would stay in 213; if you lived on the West Side of LCB, you would switch to 310. Perhaps they have changed their minds. David
